I had a hard time staying interested in the police aspect of these devotions, which is weird because I am a police wife and I come from a family of policemen. I like the parallels Mr. Davis made between our daily Christian walk and the policeman, but if you're not a cop, you might not understand many of the aspects of what he is saying.
I think many police officers would enjoy this devotional, but civilians might have a hard time understanding parts of this book.

I read this and shared with my husband who is a LEO. The devotions are geared towards those on the street, but can be understood by all. This would be a nice and thoughtful gift. Typical of this type of devotional.

I received this book as a gift for my husband. After ten years of service, I can't imagine the things he has seen on the job.
This book would have been a gem starting out. A guide, a helping hand, a resource to lean on after those tough calls, before heading out for a shift.
This book is a necessity for any and all areas of LEO. I would recommend it for it's words but also for the lay out, the passages, the strength it pours into the reader. My husband is not a reader but took to reading this daily and as I see his book mark move through the book I could sense it was giving him peace and calm, giving him a message he badly needed to hear.
I encourage others to buy this for a friend, a colleague, a family member involved in any area of LEO - whether they are a rookie or a veteran. This is a must for all!
I'm highly anticipating more by the author and cannot wait for his marriage book that should be following this soon!
